The Georgia Enterprise February 2, 1900
     The School House at Starrsville caught on fire about one o’clock Wednesday 
and was burned to the ground in a few minutes.
     The fire is thought to have caught from a defective flue in the chimney, 
and when discovered the fire was over nearly half of the roof of the building.
     The school house was an old building and contained two rooms.
     Prof. J. E. COUEY is principal, and ably assisted by Miss Gladney Thompson.
     It was for a while that the cotton belonging to Mr. L. A. STARR would be 
burned up, but by the heroic work on the part of the children and men who had 
assembled by this time, it was saved.
